As I explained before the return statement (without the parenthesis) can be
used to exit the procedure before it reaches the "end procedure".
Example:

procedure ImOldEnough(integer age)
        if age > 18 then
                puts(1, "You are old enough")
                return
        end if
        puts(1, "You are not old enough")
end procedure

The example is very trivial, but shows the point. Instead of using the
return statement I would used an "else" for better readability.
